Special Ops: Spring in a Tin

Banners are a fun Home Decor item that scrapbookers have made into their own type of wonderful. But where do you put a banner when you don't have a convenient mantle? And how do you store a banner so that it can be displayed again later?

Todays Special Ops has an answer for that!

 

 

This project started with a 75 cent tin

and a few of my favorite punches.

First I punched butterflies, flowers, and doilies

from a variety of sweet spring prints.

 

This tin is charming but a little too cutesy for me.
I painted the rim and the edges of the base green then added patterned cork.

 

Next I punctured the lid and the base of the tin with my paper piercer. I tied a knot in a generous length of twine and pushed the other end through the base of the tin.

I the punched shapes onto the twine, pushed it through the lid, and tied a knot.

 

I decorated the lid of the tin with a

 felt flower and a paper doily.

Now I can press a couple tacks into my wall, loop the banner over them, and display it with ease. When it's time for a change in decorations my banner slips easily into the tin and can be put away for later.
